Short and quick climb
Marta_V
, Dec 2021
It is massively oversold and very disappointing. We walked on the glacier for about half an hour before stopping while the guide was setting up the ropes. Then he showed us how to climb and once the first of us was on the ice, he started explaining how to get down, shouting from the bottom of the ice wall. Basically, an educated guess on ice climbing and descent. Once you climb up and somehow manage to get down, you have nothing to do while all the others in the group complete their climb. Another 30 minutes to get back to your car.

First time ice climbers on beautiful Sólheimajökull

Sam was an amazing glacier guide; very knowledgeable and made our experience fun and comfortable! Having never ice climbed before, we weren’t quite sure what to expect, but Sam encouraged us and made us feel safe. Sólheimajökull is beautiful and we were so glad that we had the opportunity to do this on our first trip to Iceland.
